If you love good writing, check out these reports you may have missed:
Leigh on Richard Move and MoveOpolis, the 20th anniversary of his uncanny Martha Graham characterization and his new “XXYY”:
“As with dance’s other great gender illusionists, the Trocks, Move has the secret of satire down cold. The best stuff, and the funniest, springs from love.”
Martha on Mark Morris’ staging of two operas:
“Each work profited from his devotion to both opera and dance, but in opposing ways. Morris highlighted the music in his New York premiere of Benjamin Britten’s “Curlew River” and focused on the dance in his 1989 classic, Henry Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas.””
Leigh on The Ashley Bouder Project’s co-production with The New York Jazzharmonic:
“Like the ballerina herself, Ashley Bouder’s foray outside New York City Ballet was to the point (if on the short side), jazzy and a little bit brassy.”
Martha on Amanda Loulaki:
“Amanda Loulaki’s newest dance was so gentle it was gripping.”
